(sorry for cross postings) ************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS: NUMTA Special Session on High Performance Computing in Modelling and Simulation (NUMTA2019-HPCMS) TH Le Castella Village Le Castella – Isola Capo Rizzuto Crotone, Italy DEADLINE for One-page Abstract submission: March 18, 2019 ************************************************************************** Model development for the simulation of the evolution of artificial and natural systems is essential for the advancement of Science. The increasing power of computers has allowed to considerably extend the application of computing methodologies in research and industry, but also to the quantitative study of complex phenomena. This has permitted a broad application of numerical methods for differential equation systems (e.g., FEM, FDM, etc.) on one hand, and the application of alternative computational paradigms, such as Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence, etc., on the other. These latter have demonstrated their effectiveness for modelling purposes when traditional simulation methodologies have proven to be impracticable. An important mission of the HPCMS Special Session within the NUMTA 2019 3rd International Conference and Summer School is to provide a platform for a multidisciplinary community composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, practitioners and experts from world leading Universities, Institutions, Agencies and Companies in Computational Science, and thus in the High Performance Computing for Modelling and Simulation field. The session intent is to offer an opportunity to express and confront views on trends, challenges, and state-of-the art in diverse application fields, such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, hydrology, medicine, ecology, traffic control, economy, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - High-performance computing in computational science: intra-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research applications - Complex systems modelling and simulation - Cellular Automata, Genetic Algorithms, Neural networks, Swarm Intelligence implementations - Integrated approach to optimization and simulation - MPI, OpenMP, GPGPU applications in Computational Science - Optimization algorithms, modelling techniques related to optimization in Computational Science - High-performance Software developed to solve science (e.g., biological, physical, earth science and social), engineering, medicine, and humanities problems - Hardware approaches of high performance computing in modeling and simulation Submission One-page abstract should be submitted before March 18, 2019 EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=numta2019 (please follow the EasyChair hints to correctly prepare and submit your abstract).

10 Jan '19

WPDM 2019 The Third International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2019/ CALL FOR PAPERS The Third Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2019) will be held in conjunction with The 19th International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2019), http://www.iccsa.org Saint Petersburg University, Saint Petersburg, Russia July 1-4 2019 Final submission Deadline: February 17, 2019 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining is an international forum which brings together researchers and practitioners working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Data mining techniques and algorithms to process huge amount of data in order to extract useful and interesting information have become popular in many different contexts. Algorithms are required to make sense of data automatically and in efficient ways. Nonetheless, even though sequential computer systems performance is improving, they are not suitable to keep up with the increase in the demand for data mining applications and the data size. Moreover, the main memory of sequential systems may not be enough to hold all the data related to current applications. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel data mining algorithms. On parallel computers, by exploiting the vast aggregate main memory and processing power of processors and accelerators, parallel algorithms can easily address both the running time and memory requirement issues. Anyway, parallelizing existing algorithms in order to achieve good performance and scalability with regard to massive datasets is not trivial. Indeed, it is of paramount importance a good data organization and decomposition strategy in order to balance the workload while minimizing data dependences. Another concern is related to minimizing synchronization and communication overhead. Finally, I/O costs should be minimized as well. The Workshop will allow exchanging ideas and results related to on-going research, focusing on high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms and applications. Creating breakthrough parallel algorithms for high-performance data mining applications requires addressing several key computing problems which may lead to novel solutions and new insights in interdisciplinary applications. The focus of the workshop is on all forms of advances in high-performance data mining algorithms and applications, and related topics. The WPDM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics.

Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining"
by Massimo CAFARO 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining" A special issue of Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893). Deadline for manuscript submissions: extended to January 30, 2019 http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_… Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue is devoted to the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) is an international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners, working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Indeed, datasets grow so rapidly that, every day, exabytes of data are being generated, and, in order to extract and infer useful knowledge, parallel processing techniques are required to cope with this huge volume of data: Traditional sequential software is not viable to cope with them. When the data are generated in different places (such as wireless sensor networks and/or Internet of things devices), they may be geographically spread out, and the data cannot be sent to a centralized site, thus, the need for distributed processing algorithms arises. Topics relevant to this Special Issue cover the scope of the WPDM 2018 Workshop (http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/) - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining Extended versions of papers presented at WPDM 2018 are sought, but this call for papers is fully open to all those who wish to contribute by submitting a relevant research manuscript. Manuscript Submission Information Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed.

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Call for Papers Workshop on Data Mining for Fake News in Social Media: Propagation, Detection, and Mitigation (FEND'19), in conjunction with SDM'19 http://pike.psu.edu/fend19/ May 2-4, 2019, Alberta, Canada Social media has become a popular means to consume news. However, the quality of news on social media is lower than traditional news organizations. Because it is cheap to provide news online and much faster and easier to disseminate through social media, large volumes of fake news, i.e., those news articles with intentionally false information, are produced online for a variety of purposes, such as financial and political gain. The extensive spread of fake news can have severe negative impacts on individuals and society. First, fake news can break the authenticity balance of the news ecosystem. For example, it is evident that the most popular fake news was even more widely spread on Facebook than the most popular authentic mainstream news during the U.S. 2016 presidential election. Second, fake news intentionally persuades consumers to accept biased or false beliefs for political or financial gain. For example, in 2013, $130 billion in stock value was wiped out in a matter of minutes following an Associated Press (AP) tweet about an explosion that injured Barack Obama. AP said its Twitter account was hacked. Third, fake news changes the way people interpret and respond to real news, impeding their abilities to differentiate what is true from what is not. Therefore, it's critical to understand how fake news propagate, developing data mining techniques for efficient and accurate fake news detection and intervene in the propagation of fake news to mitigate the negative effects. The objectives of this workshop are: - Bring together researchers from both academia and industry as well as practitioners to present their latest problems and ideas; - Attract social media providers who have access to interesting sources of fake news datasets and problems but lack the expertise in data mining to use data effectively; - Enhance interactions between data mining, text mining, social media mining, and sociology and psychology communities working on problems of fake news propagation, detection, and mitigation. This workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and social media providers for understanding fake news propagation, improving fake news detection in social media and mitigation. Topic areas for the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: - User behavior analysis and characterization for fake news detection - Text mining - mining news contents and user comments - Early fake news detection - Unsupervised fake news detection - Fact-checking - Tracing and characterizing the propagation of fake news and true news - Malicious account and bot detection, user credibility assessment - Visual analysis and exploration with images on the news - News event aggregation and detection - Building benchmark datasets for fake news detection in social media Paper Submission: Papers should be submitted as PDF, using the SIAM conference proceedings style, available at https://www.siam.org/Portals/0/Publications/Proceedings/soda2e_061418.zip?v…. Submissions should be limited to nine pages and submitted via CMT at https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/FEND2019. Important Dates: Submission deadline: February 1, 2019 Notification: March 15, 2019 SDM pre-registration deadline: April 2, 2019 Camera ready: April 15, 2019 Conference dates: May 2-4, 2019 Shall you have any questions, please email to szw494(a)psu.edu or kai.shu(a)asu.edu.

[CFP] GrAPL 2019 - co-located with IPDPS 2019
by Tumeo, Antonino 02 Jan '19

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] GrAPL 2019: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning http://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl Co-Located with IPDPS 2019 May 20, 2019 Hilton Rio De Janeiro Brazil ----------------------------- GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops: GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning ----------------------------- Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Much of the recent focus in Data Analytics has emphasized machine learning. This is understandable given the success of deep learning over the last decade. However, many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in Graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad which is a natural outgrowth of the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows. The objectives of this workshop are as follows: * Understand data analytics workflows and the mix of graph and machine learning algorithms they require * Understand the synergies between evolving device technology and graph analytics applications to drive: 1) the direction of emerging hardware and software architecture, 2) new graph analytics algorithms that better exploit the emerging hardware; and 3) application workflows that mix the large graph synthesis and analytics and machine learning. * Explore different frameworks, languages and libraries to support programming graph analytics and machine learning algorithms * Evaluate the performance and scalability of integrated platforms for large graph synthesis and analysis, and machine learning While each of these topics on their own are well addressed in other workshops, we are particularly interested in the cross-cutting synergies. For example, hardware and software architectures specialized for machine learning (and in particular deep learning) may be poorly suited for graph algorithms. Can we understand these conflicting needs and perhaps find an architecture jointly optimized for both? This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. We are particularly interested in papers that: * Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning; * Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs; * Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms; * Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both; * Provide tractability performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows. Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged. ----------------------------- Important Dates ----------------------------- Position or full paper submission: February 1, 2019 Notification: February 28, 2019 Camera-ready: March 15, 2019 Workshop: May 20, 2019 ----------------------------- Submissions ----------------------------- Submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=grapl2019 Submitted manuscripts may not exceed ten (10) pages, single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references.

22 Dec '18

[DECON\'19] Call for papers ww.decision-economics.net info(a)decision-economics.net (info@info@decision-economics.net) International Conference on Decision Economics University of Salamanca Ávila (Spain) | 26th - 22th June, 2019 SCOPE Decision Economics is a growing field of research which has been given much attention by several scholars in recent decades. The International Conference on Decision Economics (DECON 2019) is a multidisciplinary international forum dedicated to advancing knowledge and improving instruction in economics, business, computer science, psychology, quantitative methods and related disciplines. To pursue this mission, DECON 2019 will facilitate the development and dissemination of knowledge in the diverse disciplines of the decision sciences in the tradition of Herbert A. Simon’s interdisciplinary heritage. Herbert A. Simon was - and still is - one of the most influential founding father of the multidisciplinary fields of decision sciences: his contributions range across administrative behaviour and organisation theory, management science and operation research, behavioural decision theory, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence. Therefore, DECON 2019 focuses on theoretical, empirical and methodological investigations of socio-economic decisions made by several economic agents in a complex market economy, not entirely according to standard “rational” economic principles, but also in light of behavioural and cognitive factors, and bounded rationality. Such investigations can be methodologically focused on quantitative approaches, qualitative methods, or can take the form of insightful reviews and commentaries on best practices in social science research. DECON 2019 dedicates itself to the interdisciplinary study of decision-making in the recognition that important decision-making takes place in a range of critical subject areas and research fields, including Economics, Finance, Information Systems, Psychology, Small and International Business, Management, Operations, and Production. We are particularly interested in analytics as an emerging synthesis of sophisticated methodology and large data systems used to guide economic decision-making in an increasingly complex business environment. TOPICS The recent negative economic and financial events, which have hit the world economies in the last decade, call for new and innovative studies mainly in economics, business and finance, involving different research fields such as Economics, Psychology, or strictly related social sciences, leading source for original research on the interplay of those fields within Artificial Intelligence. The organisers and chairs of DECON strongly believe that this is a moral duty, as well as a scientific duty, for a prudent and wise economist aware of the complexity of the real world in which he/she lives and works in the Third Millennium. Indeed, the combination of economics and decision sciences is a field of studies which proves to be useful and, thus, should be fostered to academicians and practitioners interested in the application of quantitative and behavioural methods to the problems of society. The special session focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to the study of economic analysis and policies within several major areas. Hence, papers are invited for the following areas of special interest which include but are not limited to: Experimental Research in Economics; Behavioural Game Theory; Cognitive Economics; Interrelations of Economics and Psychology with AI; Complexity of Behavioural Decision Processes; Microfoundations and Micro-Macro Relationships; Organisational Decision-Making; Computation and Computability in Economics; Decision Theory and the Economics of Uncertainty; Algorithmic Social Sciences Research; Decision Support Systems and Business Decisions; Business Intelligence Analytics and Decision-Making; Big Data, Data-Mining and Robotics; Managerial Decision-Making; Complex Business Environments; Information Technology and Operational Decision Sciences.

[Deadline Extension] Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining"
by Massimo CAFARO 22 Dec '18

22 Dec '18

Special Issue "The Second International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining" A special issue of Algorithms (ISSN 1999-4893). Deadline for manuscript submissions: extended to January 30, 2019 http://www.mdpi.com/journal/algorithms/special_issues/Parallel_Distributed_… Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, This Special Issue is devoted to the increasing interest in the design and implementation of parallel and distributed data mining algorithms. The Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Data Mining (WPDM 2018) is an international forum that brings together researchers and practitioners, working on different high-performance aspects of data mining algorithms, enabling novel applications. Indeed, datasets grow so rapidly that, every day, exabytes of data are being generated, and, in order to extract and infer useful knowledge, parallel processing techniques are required to cope with this huge volume of data: Traditional sequential software is not viable to cope with them. When the data are generated in different places (such as wireless sensor networks and/or Internet of things devices), they may be geographically spread out, and the data cannot be sent to a centralized site, thus, the need for distributed processing algorithms arises. Topics relevant to this Special Issue cover the scope of the WPDM 2018 Workshop (http://sara.unisalento.it/~cafaro/WPDM2018/) - Parallel data mining algorithms using MPI and/or OpenMP - Parallel data mining algorithms targeting GPUs and many-cores accelerators - Parallel data mining applications exploiting FPGA - Distributed data mining algorithms - Benchmarking and performance studies of high-performance data mining applications - Novel programming paradigms to support high-performance computing for data mining - Performance models for high-performance data mining applications and middleware - Programming models, tools, and environments for high-performance computing in data mining - Caching, streaming, pipelining, and other optimization techniques for data management in high-performance computing for data mining Extended versions of papers presented at WPDM 2018 are sought, but this call for papers is fully open to all those who wish to contribute by submitting a relevant research manuscript. Manuscript Submission Information Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 850 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English.

CfP for VHPC ‘19: HPC Virtualization Paper Registration due January 25, 2019 - 14th Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing Workshop@ISC
by Michael Alexander 20 Dec '18

20 Dec '18

==================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 14th Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC '19) held in conjunction with the International Supercomputing Conference - High Performance, June 16-20, 2019, Frankfurt, Germany. (Springer LNCS Proceedings) ==================================================================== Date: June 20, 2019 Workshop URL: http://vhpc.org Abstract Submission Deadline: January 25, 2019 Springer LNCS, rolling abstract submission Abstract/Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=25685 Call for Papers Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of scientific and commercial computing. Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers; network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures. Publication Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume. Topics of Interest The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers-virtualization and the cloud.

CFP: 7th Int. Conf. on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019)
by FiCloud Conference 18 Dec '18

18 Dec '18

----------------------Call for Papers ------------------------------------------------ The 7th International Conference on Future Internet of Things and Cloud (FiCloud 2019) 26-28 August 2019, Istanbul, Turkey http://www.ficloud.org/2019/ Technical co-sponsorship: IEEE-CS TCI --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Internet of Things (IoT) vision is to provide a dynamic and global network infrastructure which is characterized by intelligent and self configuring capabilities. IoT is considered as an integral part of the future Internet. It is based on interoperable communication protocols in order to enable the interaction and integration of virtual as well as physical Things such as computers, smart devices, sensors, cars, refrigerators, food packages, medicines, etc. Things can be seamlessly integrated into the information network and interaction can be made through the provision of intelligent interfaces. In not so distant future, IoT will be forcing its way into every aspect of our lives and technologies including smart homes, smart cities, environment and nature, green energy, food, medicine, automotive, aerospace and aviation, telecommunication, and so on. IoT is generally characterized by real world and small Things, limited capacity, constrained devices and the consequential issues such as less reliability, security and privacy. Cloud computing on the other hand deals mainly with virtual world and has unlimited capabilities in terms of storage and processing power. Thus cloud and IoT are the main complementary aspects of the future Internet. IoT can benefit from the unlimited capabilities and resources of cloud computing. Similarly, cloud can benefit from IoT by extending its scope to deal with real world things in a more distributed and dynamic manner.
